Greek rooster.
Rhodes, early 5th century BC.
Terracotta.
Height: 18cm.
The bird has a circular wattle, a five-pointed comb, bulbous eyes and a pointed beak are well-modelled. The body shows a full breast, the wings rounded and touching the ground, acting as a rear support along with a pair of short, cylindrical legs. The tail terminates in an accentuated sickle feather. A vent-hole on the underside, the figure is hollow and made from a two part mould, with some gesso and patches of red to the body and yellow on the neck.
Such items were votive offerings.
